Jilboob should be banned. It has defamed Islam.

I hope those who wear jilboob immediately seek better understanding on the true meaning of the hijab.

I absolutely agree with the MUI that jilboob is haram.

The point of covering yourself in Islam is to cover what is inside you that has a negative effect.
And everyone can see who is better: the Jilboobers with their good attitude, helpfulness and friendliness or properly dressed Islamic women who gossip or practice corruption.

Creativity is one of the most important traits of a person. But when it comes to God's rules, creativity is not needed.

The jilbab (headscarf) and burka are Arabic attire resulting from heat and sand storms during the Prophet's time there. Meanwhile, Javanese, Sundanese, Sumatran, etc. women are not Arabs.
Indonesian identity must not be sacrificed. Women are God's creation with their own minds and
intelligence.
We must wear our national dress with pride.
